Description

'City Life: Museums and Community Regeneration' will examine how museums use their collections and services to address social issues and reflect underrepresented communities, where all sections of society can have a voice.

In particular, 'City Life: Museums and Community Regeneration' will look at the relationship that museums and heritage sites have with communities that have traditionally faced significant socio-economic challenges.

The Seminar will present and explore through a series of talks, practical examples and a site visit, some of the methodologies used in public history-making within the museum to safeguard and ensure that the legacy of the past is not lost in the context of rapidly evolving communities.

City Life: Museums and Community Regeneration is presented under the Cooperation with Northern Ireland Scheme operated by the Department of Arts, Heritage, Rural, Regional and Gaeltacht Affairs. Organised by The Irish Museums Association in association with Ulster University, the content of the seminar has been developed by Professor Elizabeth Crooke, Ulster University; Dr Emily Mark-Fitzgerald, University College Dublin; and William Blair, National Museums Northern Ireland.
